"ecdsa-sk" and "ed25519-sk" SSH keys do not work on GitLab SaaS
In gitlab-org/gitlab!78934 (merged) we added the ability to users to add two new types("ecdsa-sk" and "ed25519-sk") of SSH keys to their accounts. OpenSSH 8.2 added support for those keys.
Staging
At Feb 4, 2022, 12:07 PM: This MR was deployed to https://staging.gitlab.com
It was confirmed that "ecdsa-sk" and "ed25519-sk" SSH keys works on Staging by using ssh -Tvvv git@staging.gitlab.com

What is the root cause
By comparing both outputs I noticed that on Production we have OpenSSH 7.9 installed:
debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_8.2p1 Ubuntu-4ubuntu0.4
debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version OpenSSH_7.9p1 Debian-10+deb10u2
debug1: match: OpenSSH_7.9p1 Debian-10+deb10u2 pat OpenSSH* compat 0x04000000
We need to update OpenSSH to 8.2+ to make "ecdsa-sk" and "ed25519-sk" SSH keys work.
On Staging, we enabled gitlab-sshd
instead of openssh
recently:
debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_8.2p1 Ubuntu-4ubuntu0.4
debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version Go
debug1: no match: Go
As I understand gitlab-sshd
uses OpenSSH 8.8 under the hood. That is why new types of SSH keys work on https://staging.gitlab.com.
How to resolve
Updating OpenSSH to 8.2+ or enabling gitlab-sshd
on Production should resolve this issue. Related to &603 (closed).
It is likely to be done in %14.8
